Recipe of the Week: Salsa Chicken

So, I've decided to include a recurring feature. The recipe of the week (or every other week, or...) will generally be something we are eating that week. Our recipes are usually quick and easy, as well as healthy. I enjoy cooking, so sometimes I use pinches and dashes, but I will try to quantify them for you, fellow losers. So, without further ado, I introduce you to one of our easiest...

Salsa Chicken

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast (about 6oz per person)
1 jar of your favorite salsa (We like Old El Paso Medium)
Reduced fat shredded cheese, either Cheddar Jack or Mexican blend

-Preheat oven to 375 degrees
-Place chicken in square baking dish
-Pour salsa over chicken
-Top with cheese
-Bake for 25 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165 degrees

That's it. The total calorie count is about 250 per serving, depending on the type and amount of cheese you use. Salsa makes a great condiment or sauce all around, because 2 tsp are roughly 10 calories. We usually serve with a SteamFresh bag of green beans.
